Announcing We Love Fairy Tales Week

If you love fairy tales -- by which I mean anything and everything from the original fairy tales from long ago to the latest retellings -- then you are in luck!  Because I am gearing up to host my annual "We Love XYZ" blog party in February, and this year's theme is Fairy Tales!


Join me February 9-14 as we celebrate all things fairy tale related!  As usual, I will provide a party tag, a giveaway with themed prizes, and some party games.  I also plan to do at least one post on my book blog, The Edge of the Precipice.

Everything else is up to you!  And you can start by nabbing one of these party buttons and displaying it on your own blog with a link back to this post so others can join the fun.


All sorts of blog posts are welcome, from fairy tale book and movie reviews, to lists of your favorite fairy tales or favorite retellings, musings on what themes draw you to specific fairy tales, or anything else you can dream up that has to do with fairy tales!


The one real rule is that, since this is a party and open to people of all ages, your posts must be:
  • celebratory (no fairy tale bashing!)
  • appropriate for all ages
That does NOT mean you can't be critical of things within a movie or book you're reviewing.  It also doesn't mean you can only review G-rated movies or books.  It just means your posts should overall be positive about fairy tales and be appropriate for readers of all ages.


Because this is a blog party and not a blogathon, there is no limit to how many people can write about the same subject.  If we have fourteen reviews of Cinderella (2015), nobody is going to complain!


That means you don't absolutely have to sign up ahead of time for this party.  However, it's always nice to have an idea of how many people will be participating.  So if you do know you want to attend this party and have an idea of what you plan to contribute, let me know in a comment and I'll add you to the roster!

List of Participants

+ Hamlette's Soliloquy -- party tag, game, giveaway
